Towards Conversational Human-Computer Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The belief that humans will be able to interact with computers in conversational speech has long been a favorite subject in science fiction. This reflects the persistent belief that spoken dialogue would be the most natural and powerful user interface to computers. With recent improvements in computer technology and in speech and language processing, such systems are starting to appear feasible. There are significant technical problems that still need to be solved before speech-driven interfaces become truly conversational. This paper describes the results of a ten-year effort building robust spoken dialogue systems at the University of Roches-

Conversational Agents, Humorous Act Construction, and Social Intelligence
Humans use humour to ease communication problems in human-human interaction and in a similar way humour can be used to solve communication problems that arise with humancomputer interaction. We discuss the role of embodied conversational agents in human-computer interaction and we have observations on the generation of humorous acts and on the appropriateness of displaying them by embodied conv...
متن کاملHumor and Embodied Conversational Agents
This report surveys the role of humor in human-to-human interaction and the possible role of humor in human-computer interaction. The aim is to see whether it is useful for embodied conversational agents to integrate humor capabilities in their internal model of intelligence, emotions and interaction (verbal and nonverbal) capabilities. A current state of the art of research in embodied convers...
متن کاملGrounding Emotions in Human-Machine Conversational Systems
In this paper we investigate the role of user emotions in human-machine goal-oriented conversations. There has been a growing interest in predicting emotions from acted and non-acted spontaneous speech. Much of the research work has gone in determining what are the correct labels and improving emotion prediction accuracy. In this paper we evaluate the value of user emotional state towards a com...
متن کاملTowards Ambient Intelligence: Multimodal Computers that Understand Our Intentions
This paper discusses the state-of-the-art and future developments of conversational multimodal interaction with computers, one of the corner stones of all future eCommerce and eWork applications. On the basis of past and present experience it is argued that natural, conversational interaction can only be achieved on the basis of powerful cognitive models of multimodal human-machine interaction....
متن کاملAn Exploratory Study Toward the Preferred Conversational Style for Compatible Virtual Agents
Designing virtual personal assistants that are able to engage users in an interaction have been a challenge for HCI researchers for the past 20 years. In this work we investigated how a set of vocal characteristics known as “conversational style” could play role in engaging users in an interaction with a virtual agent. We also examined whether the similarity attraction principle influences how ...
